# This files is the source of truth what features (as build system entities)
# exist in RIOT. The file `makefiles/features_existing.inc.mk` is generated
# from this list, and so is the documentation in
# `doc/doxygen/src/feature_list.md`. To regenerate them, run
# `make generate-features` in the root of the repo.
#
# The syntax is relatively simple: A group is a mapping that may contain a
# string-valued "title" and "help", may contain a list of groups under the
# "groups" key, and a list of features under the "features" key, where a
# feature is expressed as a mapping that contains a "name" and a "help" string.
# The syntax is formally described in dist/tools/features_yaml2mx/schema.cddl.
#
# Note: The syntax or even the file format will likely change and evolve over
#       time.

    help: The CPU has identification information available. In the best case this
          is a globally unique ID, in the worst case it is some calibration
          parameters to compensate production variance that may or may not allow

  - name: periph_dma
    help: A DMA peripheral is present. Enabling this feature affects the
          implementation of other peripheral drivers. E.g. SPI/I²C/UART/...
          transfers may use the DMA (possible only when transfers are longer than
          a certain cut-off). The main benefit is that other threads can run
          while the thread issuing the, say SPI transfer, is blocked until the
          transfer is completed. It often also speeds up longer transfers.

      help: This is a lower level GPIO API that allows port based access. It
            exposes a number of advanced features and lower latency GPIO
            access at the cost of a more complex and more frequently
            changing API. You should only use this if the Pin Level Peripheral

              and (push-pull) output in an efficient manner. The main use case
              is bit-banging bidirectional protocols when open-drain / open-source

              at high speed with three output states (high, low, high impedance),
